Can anyone tell me why the snails i had slid up the glass and on to the restraining bars and toasted themselves,i suppose i am leaving myself open for a bit of a roasting but have not seen this before. |

| 30-07-2007 21:38 by alan78 |

maybe someone sold you a dodgy light with a bulb that draws them to the light |

i would get a phsciatrist if i was u x |
| 30-07-2007 22:58 by alan78 |
for the snails or Ed? Ed, however nice your tank, the snails found it a better option to fry themselves than live in it  |
| 30-07-2007 23:04 by alan78 |
sorry Ed, i sympathise with you in this time of deep distress, you wanted a roasing though?
try the chemist, get one of those natural herbal remedies for depression (not that i ever tried them!) and crumble some in to tank, the last thing you want is the rest of the live stock getting the "fishy blues" |
| 30-07-2007 23:18 by Ed |
Very good , i did leave myself open there but the fact remains why they done it and alan dont forget to feed your goldfish. |

Are they apple snails? Could be they are going to lay eggs? |
| 31-07-2007 08:26 by big cats |
you appear to have taken a little stick on this, snails cant feel heat they dont know they will cook ? most likely attemting to lay or breed maybe even hibernate? best i can offer p.s my oscar wants me to ask how much you charge for two weeks full board |

I had the same issue with my apple snail - they go up out of the water to lay eggs and then got fried under the light.
You will have to use a condensation cover to stop them getting out. |

i may be wrong, but me thinks ED'S talking about marine snails. |
| 31-07-2007 13:51 by -Rob C- |
I'm sure I read somewhere that some marine snails lay eggs above the water line. It could be that they are going to breed, but aren't cooked before they get the chance. |
| 31-07-2007 17:26 by Ed |
Yes its marine snails. |
| 31-07-2007 17:28 by telboy |
see, i was right! |
| 31-07-2007 21:34 by alan78 |
are the snails getting toasting on the lights then Ed?
if so, simple.... turn the lights off period, everything else might die BUT, the snails will live, problem solved |
| 01-08-2007 18:46 by Ed |
There all dead. |

I dont think this would be any good with a tank plus mixing water and a bit of leccy will do you any good ,maybe a picture of a hungry frenchman would do you know what the frogs are like with snails. |
| 02-08-2007 10:22 by telboy |
also ya got the issue of the copper contaminating the water ed!as ya know, marines + copper not a good mix |
| 02-08-2007 21:21 by mwilde |
So dont buy it then?
I was going to get some put stop the snail cralling up my tank and into the next tank. I have a 4 foot tank split into 4 with glass. |
